These things are not new...

All of that is unholy because the Coca Cola company is pure shit.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 5 points 10 hours ago

It gets worse. They hired hitmen to kill trade union leaders in Colombia.

I don't care what it comes out of as long as the machine is properly and regularly cleaned.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I am afraid your out of luck either way.

I have been straight up poisoned several times by improperly maintained soda fountains. I avoid them now.

Lime coke from those machines is delicious. Fight me.

[–] draughtcyclist@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Ginger lime diet coke is an abomination and I'm here for it.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Well, I don't drink that bullshit so I couldn't care less.

There it is. That should have been the post title.

Nothing open to the public should have a touch interface. Has Covid taught us nothing?

[–] ComradePedro@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

How are the buttons more hygienic?? A screen is much easier to clean or protect with plastic.

The ones where you press the lever with the cup are.

On the plus side, you can often position your cup in the often un-mixed stream to get more syrup.

[–] sga@lemmings.world 11 points 1 day ago

you can use pressurised air to clean the duct. Some verterbrates like to call it farts

This is why I always let the first second or so spray into the splash tray.

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 77 points 1 day ago (19 children)

It's also annoying to use, slower and can't serve multiple people at the same time.

[–] iamnotme@feddit.uk 2 points 13 hours ago

Unlike my ex wife

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (12 children)

I think the extra annoyance is counteracted by the gains in customizability IMO

Where else are you going to be able to get Peach Sprite or Vanilla Fanta?

That's rich coming from the "why not cum from where we pee?" Species

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If breathing and eating don't get separate holes, piss and cum certainly aren't getting that luxury

This hurts as someone who fixes both.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Confirm this for me. It's not one hole per drink on the first, isn't it? It's two per, since one is for the creamy thick syrup, the other is for fizzy water.

That's why you basically end up with soda water if the syrup is out.

That's correct, no?

100% I was going to mention this but didn't wanna seem to nerdy.

If you are interested in learning about them search up lancer lev and you'll see pics and manuals.

i love some of the newer dispensers but you can't fuckin beat classic valves. On or fuckin off brother no in-between. i don't need no gentrified machine, give me bare stainless and black plastic with a decal and I'm happy.

i just rebuilt and installed a fountain and icewell combo original built in 96. shits built to last and is always repairable, freestyle machines break so easy, it's all tiny parts and plastic.
